"Their songs are short and catchy. No bells or whistles just straight up raw and snotty punk bangers..."
That's what I wrote 4 years ago when posting a song by Los Angeles garage punks Tenement Rats (https://www.facebook.com/tenementrats) that had featured on a 7" released by No Front Teeth Records
Fast forward to 2022 and that song is one of many highlights on a raucous new album by the band called Sods Law. They're still a 3 piece though have a new bassist, they line up : Jonny Watkins (vocals/guitar), Tsubasa Muratani (bass) & Shaun Clark (drums). Yet again the album's brought to us by No Front Teeth and as previously, a rollicking good time is guaranteed.
Crime Pays is just one of 10 garage punk n roll tracks that demonstrate how Tenement Rats are one of the best in the genre. No let up, no pauses for breath, just a breathless adrenaline rush of hi energy punk fun. It's available on vinyl and digital download here :
There isn't really a favourite on the album, every track is a banger but I like the title of this. It's called Nerve Gas Love...
